Manchester United are also reported to be interested in Malcom, with Sky Sports creditingArsenal with interest in the former Corinthians youngster. However, reports are now saying that they will face some competition from one of their most bitter rivals in the Premier League.

But the German is ready for the challenge, and welcomes the potential arrival.

Sané has established himself at City, with the 22-year-old's nine-goal haul this season matching his tally from the entirety of the last campaign. Then he insulted me for a second time and now I change.

"What is a player's calculation?"

Conte also revealed his admiration for Sanchez, who is available for a bargain fee this month since his contract with the Gunners expires in the summer.

"It looks like Sanchez will not extend his contract, but we want to keep Jack and if we have an opportunity maybe to keep Ozil, the rebuild will be less deep than if all three left".

If they do pull off what would be a significant coup, United will still go for Ozil. "The game. Of course I answer your questions".

Merson understands why United have joined the chase, but feels failure to secure Sanchez could end up doing serious damage to the reputation of both the club and their manager. The disgruntlement of the fans would increase ten-fold if a valid replacement wasn't brought in for an outgoing Sanchez.

A lack of transfer business has been at the forefront of Conte's mind as the Italian continues to clash with the Chelsea board over their contrasting policies.

But where would Sanchez fit in under? PSG manager Unai Emery has criticized the rumors from the Spanish media, hinting that they are trying to disrupt them.

Manchester United have travelled back to England after a short spell in Dubai.

Yes Manchester City have been very much interested and are the front runners, but there still are many clubs that are lurking around to grab the Chilean.
